Tuition Reduction Fund (Financial Aid)

At Crossroads, one of our founding commitments is to develop and sustain a student population that includes significant socio-economic diversity. We celebrate diversity in its many forms and believe a diverse, dynamic student body enables Crossroads to achieve its core commitment to excellence.

In support of this commitment, our Tuition Reduction Fund (TRF) program provides assistance so that all students may have access to a Crossroads education. In the 2017-18 school year, we allocated over $8 million in tuition assistance to at least 1 in 4 of our students, representing a broad spectrum of financial circumstances. Allocations from the fund ranged from $1,000 to the full cost of the tuition with our average grant covering 72% of tuition. Please also note that families receiving tuition reduction grants can pay their tuition balance over 10 payments, and many of the non-tuition related expenses (including transportation, books, laptop) can be covered by TRF grants.

It is our goal to make a Crossroads education affordable to as many families as possible and to ensure that the process of allocating funds is fair and equitable. If you have any questions about the TRF application process or program, please feel free to contact the Admissions Office. We look forward to hearing from you!
